Cheers. Are there any actual shops, rather than stalls? The reason I ask is that the place in HH is an actual watch shop. The copies aren't cheap cheap - about 3,000 bt, but they are quite good & last longer than your average one. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for.

MBK Shopping Mall in Bangkok

3rd floor I think has a host of stalls selling them , there are different grades mind you
and different automatic movements inside

the cheap shit will have chinese automatic movements , the better will use a seiko
automatic movement

the best copies that will cost around 10,000 baht have a ETA movement inside

Buy a real one IMO

^ & ^^ Thanks, chaps

Oh and UK customs can be fussy if they find them coming back. They *usually* turn a blind eye to one or two though. Best to throw away all packaging and fake 'certificates' that may come with them.

Bought a auto wind Brettling at a stall in Patpong 1000 baht, two years ago,he had a book and you chose what make and model you want. didnt try haggling, nice to see you posting again NR, often thought about little un as you thought the world of him.

why would anyone want to buy a fake rolex that
will stop workin after 3 months
if you're lucky.
why spend 5,000 baht on crap.
i've heard prices like 15,000 baht.
crazy,, and people pay,,insane.

Bought a cheap watch in Karat at a moll, it die'ed before I made the car park. And no I did not get the cheap ones. Paid at least 90bht

guess it looks as impressive
as jewelry.
the NAME.

Few years back I paid B1500 for a "Rolex" in Samui . I normally use my phone for the time and had woken on the flight over not having a clue how long I'd been sleeping or how long until touchdown . So a couple of days before my return I decided a watch was required . I managed to haggle him down from B2500 and was well chuffed with myself . I was actually at Don Muang when I noticed the minute hand had fallen off ! By the time I got to Heathrow the bloody face had fallen off as well . Served me right for feeling smug .

Only losers and cheese dicks wear fake Rolex watches

the quality of fakes is pretty bad in Thailand, if you want a real good fake take a trip to Hong Kong and then go to Shenzhen which is just on the other side of the mainland border. As soon as you pass immigration there is a huge shopping center selling anything and everything you need.

A friend of mine who loves watches has a fair collection of real and fake.

He swears the only real quality copy watches he has found here are as stated before on the 3rd Floor of MBK.

If you stand outside Fotofile on the 3rd floor, walk to the left and then turn right across the face of the escalators. When on the other side of the building, turn left and along there, there are a couple of good stalls.

The Indians who sell along Sukhumvit are cheap, I've never failed to get one for 600 THB but you get what you pay for.... (even though he knows me we still go through the bargaining and it usually takes a beer or two....)

If you do wanna deal with these guys for cheaper versions, I have one of the guys numbers and will PM it to you if you want, he will come to you.

Depends on what you want to spend.

Why? I had a real Yachtmaster before I moved to Thailand. It came up missing when I went through a divorce. Sadly my insurance would not even cover it and the police said it was a civil matter. I think it was her brother that snagged it. It would not have hurt too bad if it was fake. Plus I bought a knock off at JJ market and it lasted 5 years. Everyone in the US thought it was real too.

My wife got me a Hublot over 2 years ago somewhere around Silom I think, still going strong and looks good people always ask what lind of watch it is
